Zephyrin looked like a human bird that is often described in novels. The overall shape was human, except for his face, covered with black feathers, and her arms had wings.
And she flew very fast. It looked like a dot, and then it got close enough to be recognized in an instant.
"Hmm, what is that human crow? Is it the surprise makeup show that my son-in-law prepared for me?"
“It is a demon dragon called Zephyrin. I think she came to some business with me."
"You mean a woman again? Anyway, my son-in-law is popular."
Naturally, Zephyrin wasn't very friendly.
The plan to take Joshua hostage also failed, and the last-minute battle and the damage from the volcano forced her to use the power of the leader again, so she is boiling with anger.
'I can feel the chill for some reason.'
He would have been somewhat nervous at other times, but Jin turned his head to either side of him and calmly inspected his comrades. Unexpected he smiled.
“Well, that. Zephyrin. It's not Zephyrin!"
"Zephyrin? Damn you...!"
“We've been so nice to you!”
The eyes of the members of the Black kings, who were standing outside, became sharp like knives.
“She is the enemy of the leader, prepare to load the Black King Cannon No. 1!”
"Open all the cannons, including the former Black King Cannon No. 1, and avenge the leader's enemies!"
“Leader’s sacrifice was not in vain!”
The members of the Black kings were talking as if Valkas had died at that time. It was unknown whether it was to incite anger or if someone used the expression “enemy” to create a strange flow.
The cannons were aimed.
The members of the Black kings in the Central Watchtower were sending signals. They were ready to shoot the damn thing, so it meant to give the order right away.
"Well, lord. Make your decision."
“Let’s do a defense test.”
As Valkas raised his hand, the members of the Watchtower nodded.
Clap! Kiyiing, Cheekduck-!
At the same time, defensive equipment installed by the Black Kings began to appear on the outer walls of Tikan.
It was an orderly change, as if elaborately meshed cogwheels were turning.
Cannons barrels were exposed as cannons were opened in various places on the outer wall, and artifacts installed on nearby reefs unleashed anti-aircraft protection at once.
Hooks for suppression and pressure poured from all sides. There were also artifacts that shot nets, and over forty huge bows with several members attached to draw strings.
In addition, numerous defensive equipment was aimed at Zephyrin.
'I heard that the fortification had begun, but was it this much? Ha, besides, treating me like this when even if you greet me politely isn't enough... It's absurd, Lord Jin!'
Open fire!
As the commanders shouted, in an instant, the sky turned red with shells, flames, arrows, hooks, and nets.
A normal level dragon would have already met death at that point, but Zephyrin showed a good resilience.
‘…… It's quite brutal.'
Zephyrin was the first to be shocked at the scene.
Normally, she would have just snorted at her ridiculous mind. However, it was a situation where she could not use the power of the leader right now.
"Fire the Black King Cannon!"
"Fire!"
As soon as it was judged that a blind spot had been created, the Black King Cannon No. 1 spewed fire.
Pew-!
A heavy yet cool explosion, as if something blocked it, rang out after the shot had already brushed Zephyrin's cheek and shoulder.
'Uh, just now..... what is it?'
If she had allowed her to hit right now in powerless state, she would have suffered death or damage equivalent to it.
That intuition was so certain, Zephyrin had no choice but to block the Black King Cannon No. 1 after flying at an unavoidable angle.
By drawing the power of the leader (Argh! At that time, the leader who was lying down vomited blood and Kinzelo was put on emergency alert).
"It's pretty good, isn't it?"
At the time of the Black King incident, the battle was almost unfolded in subspace, and all the members were unable to use it because they were evacuating.
The power of the Black King Cannon No. 1 was enormous.
“It is the pride of our Black King.”
“I understood the approximate performance. Now, please guide Zephyrin to land this way.”
When Valkas delivered Jin's order, the form of shooting changed to suppression and induction.
After that, Zephyrin rolled in the sky for about 5 minutes before landing in the front yard of the mansion with a somewhat battered appearance.
"Heh, heh... This, this... Jin Runcandel! Son of a bitch, are you scorning me again? Did you forget your pact with me, come out. I'll rip you limb from limb!"
Although she screamed like that because she was so angry that she was going crazy.
In front of her were all of Jin’s companions.
"Huh, who's going to rip off limbs?"
“Zephyrin, you came to this place after making the Black King Mountain that way.”
“Keep your eyes open, behave yourself properly.”
Talaris, Valkas, and Lata spoke simultaneously.
Talaris in particular, before Zephyrin could respond, she quickly closed distance and punched Zephyrin in the jaw.
Jjaeong, Bagak-!
The fists stained with the power myriad ice and the demon dragon's jaws colliding and everyone could not help but ask this question when they heard it.
Wouldn't she be dead? I mean. The fist shocked Zephyrin for a second time.
“Quack!”
The shockwave and wind spread like a whirlwind, and the cold air that followed instantly froze Zephyrin's limbs and held them like chains.
"No, no!"
“What do you mean no?”
"Hoo! Master of hidden place, it seems that you don't know who I am, huck! Argh!"
"Uhh, I guess I'll have to hit you a little until you softens."
Bubbubuck!
Without other comrades to do anything further, Talaris pounded the Zephyrin with a crushing but thrilling blows.
After 5 minutes of literally merciless beatings, Zephyrin could only think with a swollen face.
'This, this isn't... it's not...'
Of course, this was not what she was expecting.
No matter how much she can't use the power of the leader (even though she has used it once again), Zephyrin’s battle prowess is by no means shallow.
However, embarrassed by the Tikan's defensive equipment, she unreasonably drew a little power of leader, and came down to the ground in a somewhat exhausted state, and faced the opponent.
In addition, Zephyrin knew that if Jin had a conscience, he would greet her in a gentlemanly manner. Because it's about the deal in Sota Desert.
"Oh, I was wondering what it was…. Zephyrin, it was you. I would have welcomed you politely if you had contacted me in advance. I thought you were a terrorist. Oh, are you a terrorist? Because you are from Kinzelo."
When Jin pretended not to know and said, Zephyrin's eyes were stained with purple demonic energy and filled with poison.
"Jin, Runcandel, you bastard!"
“No, this is not the time to speak so carelessly. Would anything good happen if you kept acting stupid?"
Zephyrin calmed down and looked at Jin's group.
“…Lord Jin, it’s been a while.”
In the end, she admitted that she could be in big trouble by playing around a long time ago, as it was a time when she hadn’t complete power.
"It's not been that long, comrade from the Sota Desert. It looks like you got out of the desert safely too, right?"
Zephyrin smiled as she barely suppressed the curses that came up to her throat.
"Of course, I'm in a situation where I can't use my power properly, but is it not a big deal?”
"Sounds like we are nothing as long as you can use your powers properly."
"It's not like that. You're twisting the words."
"I've been wondering since the last time, what the hell do you believe in and keep moving alone? Besides, this is my home base. It means you shouldn't come here without an invitation."
It was no different that Zephyrin preferred to move alone.
As the Grand Duke of the Demon world, running around with needless things.... I think it's a degrading thing.
However, it was embarrassing to say that, so she didn't answer. Dragons, demons, and near-immortal beings tended to have such strange, outdated cultures and ideas.
"I was just going to kill you, but I made a promise to you, so I saved you. So I hope there will be no rude cases like this again."
“Huh, okay….. Why don't we talk after you untie this?”
"Nope."
When Talaris refused with one word, Zephyrin replied quietly.
"Master of the hidden Palace, there's nothing good comes out by playing pranks on me. There must be records left by the previous masters of the hidden Palace about me..."
Then Talaris let out a light laugh.
“Huh, today is full of kids who take jokes seriously. Demon Dragon Zephyrin, there are very short records left.”
“It seems that most of them are gone. There were quite a lot of interesting stories about me in hidden palace. Didn't it say you should never get involved with me?”
There is only one record of Zephyrin remaining in the Hidden Palace.
Avoid encountering her.
'She is not a target for sealing or extermination, and it seems that her current level of force is just that. There must be a reason why such records was left.'
pssss....
The ice that bound Zephyrin scattered into the air.
"I haven't seen anything like that, and if you threaten my son-in-law again like this, just know that it won't end as a joke. Neither you nor your home base."
Everyone in the world knew that the master hidden palace Talaris Endorma is very friendly with Jin. To the extent that the everyone already know that the marriage between Jin and Syris is a confirmed matter.
However, those who knew the 'Secret of hidden palace' knew that they maintained absolute neutrality. In order to solve the abnormal phenomena of the world, and sometimes it is necessary to join hands with some forces.
'How dare you warn me by implying that you can get out of neutrality... The hidden palace didn’t seems to be the same as in the old days.'
It was new information for Zephyrin.
"Well, I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, Lord Jin. Keep the promise you made with me."
Zephyrin was very curious when she came, but now she is angry and anxious.
-That's right, to Runcandel, those things are actually pearl necklaces around a pig's neck. I won't be beaten like this in the next negotiation. So enjoy today's little victory, Lord Jin.
If that wicked bastard wiped the mouth clean, she would have to go back without any gain, and just beaten up for nothing.
"I will."
Unexpectedly, Jin seemed to be obediently responding to Zephyrin's request.
“Are you talking about handing over the blueprints and machines to us?”
“That went too far. I will have a formal meeting with Kinzelo. Then I'll give you a chance to decipher the blueprints and the machine. The decryption takes place in front of both forces, and all must be shared with us."
"Ha! You're talking like a robber again."
“You’re mistaken, Zephyrin. I was the winner of the desert that day. Things are in my hands, Zipfel and you Kinzelo are losers. Be thankful that I am giving you such generosity. If you don't like it... just return with your bare hands. It wouldn't be a bad idea to leave your neck behind."
“The day will come when all the demons will curse you, Lord Jin.”
Jin replied with a smile.
“It’s okay, I’m immune to curses. I will set the date for the meeting and notify you. It looks like business is over, what are you going to do? We were eating, so you should just taste the food and go."
Zephyrin looked like a human bird that is often described in novels. The overall shape was human, except for his face, covered with black feathers, and her arms had wings.
And she flew very fast. It looked like a dot, and then it got close enough to be recognized in an instant.
